Hour two, Sean Hannity show.
Let me give you our toll free telephone number.
It's 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program and 81 days until Election Day, 32 days, early voting begins.
First day, Pennsylvania, and it rolls out from there and mail in ballots will be sent out in some states even sooner.
We're covering this this big Marxist redistribution, socialist status price control policies now that have just been released by Kamala Harris.
But this the radical of the radicalness of this should not surprise you because that's where her instincts lie.
If you look at, for example, Pennsylvania, she had an opportunity to pick somebody a little more moderate like Josh Shapiro.
But she went with hardcore, radical, extreme, frankly, dangerously left Tim Walsh.
And I think it speaks to who she is.
The campaign.
I mean, say what you will about them.
They're not totally stupid.
They know that they can't run on Kamala's words that we have been playing over and over again.
They know they can't run on comparing ice to the KKK and abolishing ice.
They know that they can't run on a total ban on fracking, which she was so passionate about and said many times.
They know they can't run on a ban on drilling, which he had also taken the position many times.
They know that DFund dismantled no bail laws and her tweeting out the many Minnesota Bell Fund four days after the police precinct was burned to the ground and right after a target was ransacked and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and dead people, you know, between her and a running mate, you know, opening the windows of his house so that they can smell burning rubber rather than send in the National Guard.
They know they can't run on that, so they're lying.
And it is like Con Artist Kamala.
And the whole issue of taxes on tips.
Well, she was the tie-breaking vote with the inflation reduction act that very specifically is hiring IRS agents to go after service workers, and it is spelled out in the legislation.
He's the one that that co-sponsored with Bernie Sanders, Medicare for All, Universal Healthcare, and said very clearly, repeatedly, that she would eliminate any opportunity any American would have to have the freedom to have their own private health care.
Uh she and and walls are you know political soulmates when it comes to radical illegal immigration.
We have a new cut that we played on TV last night.
Oh, this is a vanity project, this wolf.
Donald Trump thinks that there's gonna be a bunch of people, you know, that want to come into the uh country uh and and and commit acts of terrorism.
Can you believe that?
I gave out all the numbers last night.
Listen to what she says here in light of all of the radical Islamic terrorists that we know are now in the country because of Joe and Kamala's unvetted illegal immigrants at nearly 11 million plus uh from 180 countries, including countries with terror ties and our top geopolitical foes.
Listen.
This is a crisis of the president's own making to fulfill um uh his quest to to build a vanity project called the wall.
Um this is irresponsible.
It's the height of irresponsibility for the commander in chief to suggest that we have to build a wall across our southern border because there are terrorists who are trying to to invade the country.
It couldn't be farther from the truth.
No, it's the absolute truth and we now know they're here.
Great job, Kamala.
Uh and you know eventually now this this this is the the issue that we now are confronting is whether or not her and walls in their own words will penetrate the bloodstream and and the political consciousness of every American.
That is the challenge in this campaign if you want Donald Trump to win.
That's why we put the walls files, the Harris files on Hannity.com and you can send it to friends, neighbors, co-workers, strangers, I don't care who you send it to, but it's them in their own words.
Now we're we find ourselves with this you know this price gouging ban.
Now I've never now in times of an emergency if you're gonna charge five times the amount for a generator okay that might be a temporary thing uh just to get over people that are exploiting uh a situation for their gain when it's just common sense that you don't do that.
That's very different than what she is proposing here.
And they're gonna set up clear rules of the road to make clear to big corporations that they can't unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and on groceries.
Well what she's not mentioning is he and Joe Biden caused the inflation that they said would only be transitory.
Like they said that the border is secure and they said you know they try to use the natural disaster example but it's not applicable here.
And you know many of you know the the this now is about government involved bans and the way they define it is going to play out two ways.
It's gonna play out the corporations will not be able to make a big enough profit to stay in business and that will create shortages that will also increase prices and secondly or they're going to be fighting the Harris Justice Department if she's ever elected president and these corporations are not stupid.
They're not going to hire some you know so some attorney lightweight attorney that charges a hundred dollars an hour they're gonna go to the biggest the best the brightest law firms in the country and pay millions and millions of dollars defend themselves likely win and that means we lose because ultimately that cost will be passed on to us.
Anyway joining us now good friend of the program our friend Selena Zito is with us she is the national political reporter for the Washington Examiner by the way the best grandmother ever but she doesn't look like a grandma she looks way too young.
Now you have been writing extensively now you're you know Pennsylvania better than any one person that I know and between banning fracking are people going to believe her walk back on fracking or do they see it as a you know as political expediency in an election year conversion that she doesn't mean and the issue of you know what is happen how how are Pennsylvanians going to respond to this insanity.
Well, you know, it's really interesting.
I think that politicians often don't give voters enough credit in understanding what they see and they don't see.
And people look for patterns of behavior.
So she has said that she wants to ban fracking.
She says through an unnamed spokesperson that she's not.
So that isn't validated with the voter.
But more importantly, I think people are forgetting that right now that there is a ban on liquid natural gas exports in in my state and and and so why hasn't she lifted it if she's not banning fracking right?
Why hasn't she allowed the permits for the pipeline to export even more liquid natural gas?
And it doesn't just impact the people that are in the industry.
You know, the welders, the construction workers, the blue-collar workers, there's those, you know, voters.
But there's also, you know, engineers, geologists, chemists, people in the artificial intelligence community, CAD drafters.
All of these people are part of that that industry and then there is another layer that people don't think about Sean and that are farmers.
Farmers you know a lot of people don't know this but farmers receive Not all farmers, but there's farmers in Pennsylvania to the tune of a hundred and ninety three million dollars so far that receive monthly royalties for having facilities on their property and that for having wells on their property.
That when you cut the export off, you cut those royalties off.
And what does that mean for a farmer?
that means no new tractor.
That means not even being able to afford to fix a tractor, which by the way, can go into the tens of thousands of dollars just to fix it.
That's not the ability to hire new people.
So there are layers of people.
It's not just this sort of stereotype of you what you think is like a guy in a hard hat working in the industry.
There's a multitudes of people and communities that are impacted to the tune of over 400,000 people um directly and indirectly that are employed by the industry.
Oh, let's talk about how this impacts the people in in Pennsylvania.
You know the state, you know, every county in the state, you know, y you know the demographics of the state.
It's about as deep purple as any state in the country.
Very hard for Republicans to win, but it's definitely a winnable state.
How does this impact the election?
How will people in Pennsylvania respond to the to these proposals or you know, twenty-five thousand dollars if you're a new home buyer?
Oh, sounds great to me.
What why did I foolishly pay put my own money down?
Here it goes, the Green New Deal, it's just gonna be rolled out piecemeal.
So, you know, how I'm watching the it's there's there's two there's a big contrast between the two campaigns in Pennsylvania.
Harris is focusing on Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
How and and look where J.D. Vance and Trump are this week in Pennsylvania.
Westmoreland County and in Luzerne County.
Well, I will tell you this there is a ceiling in Pittsburgh and there is a ceiling in Philadelphia.
You're only going to get X amount of votes.
It is the people who decide to show up in about twelve different rural and post industrial counties like Luzerne and Lake Erie and Lake Westmoreland County that are going to make the difference in in this election.
And uh what Harris and uh walls are telling us is they're going for a base election.
They're going to drum up uh votes in Pittsburgh and Philly, but I don't think that's where you win.
Uh and and case in point, um Harris is in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
But isn't the base election wasn't the greatest indicator of that picking walls over Shapiro?
And you know you know Governor Shapiro very well.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I thought you had the first interview after he wasn't picked.
I I didn't.
I have covered Josh Shapiro for twenty years.
He would have it would have been an excellent choice for um for b uh uh Harris to pick him for her.
I don't think it would have been the greatest choice for Shapiro to have joined that ticket because he has unique qualities that would have probably been drawn further left than he would have been comfortable with.
And and I also suspect he would have outshine her as well on the campaign trail.
That's my personal opinion.
But I I just think, you know, Harris is coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow, okay, to kick off her quote unquote bus tour to um to Chicago.
Again, picking a base city.
You have to and and and then she's gonna make a quality stop in Beaver County.
Well, guess what is in Beaver County?
Beaver County is where the cracker plant is, and I'm not talking about saltines.
I'm talking about what what is part the the the the plant that is part of the natural gas fract uh industry fracking.
And it was named by Democrats.
Uh Tom Wolf called it an economic game changer.
So she's going to that county.
Well, what are you going to save these people?
That their lives are more prosperous in Beaver County because of the natural gas industry.
But what is really interesting to me is that she's not letting anybody know where she's going to be in Beaver County.
It's a very it's a very isolated event.
There's only going to be X amount of people, they're only going to be invited.
Why is that?
Because I don't think people would show up en masse in Beaver County.
They would for Donald Trump because he talks about the things that impact their pocketbooks.
Quick break right back more with Selena Zito, national political reporter for the Washington Examiner and the Well, the voice of Pennsylvania knows Pennsylvania politics better than anybody.

We continue with Selena Zitos with us, national political reporter for the Washington Examiner.
The voice of Pennsylvania knows Pennsylvania politics better than anybody.
As you watch this base election, okay, I'm I'm agreeing with you, that's where they're headed.
However, how do they possibly escape, you know, we and again, we've never confirmed it.
She's never done an interview or get even a gaggle or never mind a press conference.
You know, but her campaign says she's flipping and flopping on the issue of ice and borders and fracking and drilling and defund dismantled no bail laws and uh, of course, the Bell Fund that she supported and taxes on tips and Medicare for all and universal health care and eliminating private health care and uh decriminalizing illegal immigration.
Now she's even talking about a path to citizenship.
And obviously, where has she been the last four years on Biden Harris inflation that was anything but transitory and still remains high today?
Well, uh every one of my Democrat strategist friends that are either tied directly or indirectly to this campaign, have admitted, and and they're not I I I I got the sense they weren't exactly celebrating it, but have have admitted that she probably's not going to take any questions.
She's probably not going to do any tough interviews.
And and they're just gonna their expectation is that she's just going to be lifted up by the national media.
But I will tell you this, Sean.
My experience has been that it is a very different world on Twitter than it is on the ground in Pennsylvania.
And I don't I I think the lift up on social media and in the national press is very different from the realities that you see when you listen to voters and you talk to them about what's most important.
Well, I hope you're right.
You always have had a great pulse on things.
You're not gonna answer this question.
Why do I suspect that Governor Shapiro is not happy about what has happened here?
And you're right.
You're not gonna you're not gonna Answer, are you?
I'm not gonna answer that question, but I will tell you this.
Do I have good instincts or I don't know?
Just guessing I'm just a little old talk show host.
What do I know?
I will tell you this.
When he gave that speech before Walls walked on and gave some sort of dumb internet meme insults to um to uh uh you know um aimed at JD Vance.
What you saw was Shapiro knocking, as I said in my story, knocked a bark off the tree with that speech, and I suspect you'll see that on Wednesday when he speaks um uh in Chicago.
All right.
Well, we appreciate you being here as always.
Selena Zito will be checking in throughout the campaign.
Thank you for being with us.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Victoria Sparts coming up, your call's coming up, and well, we're gonna introduce you to a grandmother of a seventeen, soon to be eighteen, who was put in jail by uh Kamala's running mate Tim Walls over COVID restrictions for sixty days.

The more we learn about Kamala Harris's VP running mate, well, the more we realize that oh, pretty much he's as big a fraud as she is.
And this is what now this campaign is coming down to.
Do we have enough time to get out who they are in their own words so that people understand exactly that how how radical extreme and fraudulent this this campaign is?
How many more times, how many more positions are they going to change uh without ever giving an interview or holding a press conference and get away with it?
I mean, if you look at, you know, the both of them on the issue of the summer of 2020, or as we affectionately refer to it as the summer of insurrection, they refer to it as the summer of love, but this guy wouldn't send out the National Guard until the police precinct burned to the ground, target ransacked.
The city's burning, the family's opening up the windows so they they can take in and breathe the smell of burning rubber from tires put on fire, is and again, no national guard sent out.
And then of course there are a bunch of DEI questions about the National Guard that will be coming in, and then the governor, Tim Walls saying, Well, you know, they're basically the guard is a bunch of 19-year-old cooks, and like Kamala Harris, he signed a bill allowing felons to vote.
excuse the riots away, a society that does not put equity and inclusion at the center of its, of it, Is certainly going to come to places where we are at.
Doesn't support fracking and dismiss criticisms of Biden's, you know, cognitive decline as ageism.
Might remember that.
Supports Minnesota being a sanctuary state.
And of course, he was the guy that signed legislation allowing illegal immigrants to obtain legal driver's licenses.
And he wants uh signed legislation providing free college tuition on top of housing for Harris and Biden, unvetted illegal immigrants, housing and education, but he wants free college education as well.
And of course, he talks about the wall.
Well, if Trump wants to build the wall, I want to know how high it is, because if it's twenty five feet, then I'll invest in a thirty foot ladder factory.
Only problem is the guy doesn't own a single thing, doesn't even own a home.
It's bizarre.
I mean, like Kamala, not not fit to be vice president of our country, but here's him and never mind the fact that he did praise the radical imam that promoted the pro Hitler film as a master teacher, despite, you know, saying oh they have no personal relationship at all, but we found out that's a huge lie, on top of him lying about his DUI and lying about pretty much everything that he has said.
And that I mentioned feminine products and boys' bathrooms and school.
Oh, yeah, that's the guy.
And his gender affirming legislation and let's keep parents out of this.
Well, why do uh why don't we just hand our children over to the state when they're born?
Anyway, here's uh here is your vice presidential democratic nominee in his own words.
I want to ask you directly.
Governor Wallace, are you a progressive or are you a centrist?
I'm a progressive.
He talks about this wall.
I always say, Let me know how high it is.
If it's twenty five feet, then I'll invest in the thirty foot ladder factory.
Don't ever shy away from our progressive values.
One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
I don't think the mayor knew what he was asking for.
He wanted the National Guard, and what does that mean?
I think to the mayor, yes, I think it's a perception.
I'm certainly not questioning that.
I think the mayor said I requested National Guard.
We're gonna have massively trained troops.
No, you're gonna have 19 year olds who are cooks in some cases, and what are we gonna do and how we're gonna use them?
And my record is so pro choice.
Nancy Pelosi asked me if I should tone it down.
I stand with planned parenthood, and we won.
That is radical.
That is extreme, that is dangerous.
Anyway, joining us now, Victoria Sparts is back with us, and she's outraged by how phony Walls is, and basically she's doubling down on the claims that he's Gavin Newsom in a f in a flannel shirt.
Uh, you might recall that Sparts is a native of Ukraine, familiar with their Marxist ideology, and Tim Walls is in love with this goal to turn this country into a socialist Marxist statist u utopia.
Uh Victoria So far, little to no vetting.
And the poor grandmother was jailed for defying walls' COVID rules or his lies about you know stolen valor and his rank, he lied about his rank, he lied about being in a war zone and carrying weapons of war in a war zone, which didn't happen.
Oh, it's sure and the glith is going on.
There's people actually tr truly cowards and liars, it's what about half a billion that was stolen under his watch, the Angus is hit he managed.
I mean, this people have no common sense, no competence, but also they don't have a courage to tell.
At least Bernie Sanders is honest enough, you know, to say, you know, I'm a socialist.
This a radical socialist that's lying to the American people and trying to fool the American people.
But I don't think American people are going to be buying it because they've seen it.
And people get in fed up where they cater into elite and want to make us equal the poor.
That's what socialism is, and they want to be this elite.
Well, they're clearly getting away with it heretofore, uh, but we have a compliant, complicit media that is nothing but an extension of of the Kamala Harris Tim Walls press office, and they have no interest in vetting them, nor do they seem to really care a whole hell of a lot that they're not doing press conferences and they're not doing interviews or even a gaggle.
Uh they're avoiding the press, I think in large part because I don't I don't think that they're able.
Frankly, in my mind, I don't think that they're able to to answer their flipping, flopping, flailing, and and just shifting positions every second of every day.
Of course, and they're lying as they're completely incompetent.
You've seen it every time.
Uh President Biden would stand Kamala somewhere, she made a laughing start.
You're substantially everywhere because he understood it'd make him look bad.
And now definitely she's afraid to get out and tell anything to the people and media is hiding it.
But at some point she will have to get out.
She will have to start explaining her positions and policies, and I think she can't be hiding forever.
And I hope there is going to be some courage from some people in the media, including the liberal media to ask some questions because the country is in trouble.
We need people that are capable to govern.
We have lots of problems and we cannot continue the worthless politicians destroying our country.
Well I think all of that's true and I think if America is fully aware of who they are and I've gone over multiple times during the program today.
Most Democrats, most independents have no idea of this radicalism, you know, as high as you know seventy and eighty percent they have no idea of all these radical positions that I keep putting out there and they're being protected by the media.
How would you how would you go around the media?
I mean I put up on my website Hannity dot com the Kamala Harris files and the Tim Walls files.
I have all of the things that they have said in their own words and all of the this massive transformation that they're going through.
Uh is that gonna work?
Well I think the only good thing that a lot more people now understand how corrupt media became mainstream media.
People don't even get information anymore.
There are a lot of different other ways how people get information.
Not always good but at least they don't have as much control.
But it will take you know for Republicans and for President Trump getting out and talking to the people and talking and that's what he's doing.
He's actually gone to a lot of very tough and controversial terrains to be able to send a message and talk about the great things he's done for America and he'll do for America.
He needs to continue doing that and well people will start paying attention.
You know I have a very tough district too and I've been going around doing town halls and I talk to people and no matter where people coming from no one wants to be puppets to big DC machine and have socialists and communists running them.
That's you know that's not what American people want and I think the more we talk about great policies and really show what they are doing the more people will start waking up.
But a lot of people are fed up and I truly believe you know and that's why I always say that this Congress also has a low approval rating that senile president so definitely people are not thinking that we are movers and shakers in Washington DC but I think a lot more people need to start paying attention and that's going to be tough but uh we need to be ready to win or we're really in trouble.
Let me ask you this uh we have seen a dramatic shift in the conflict with Ukraine and Russia as Ukraine has now gone on the offense and they have gotten into Russian territory.
They have captured more Russian soldiers than at any other point since the beginning of this conflict.
They've taken more territory inside of Russia since the beginning of this conflict.
Uh do you see a major shift that has gone on there and what do you attribute it to and I would by the way say that you know Western Europe has not done a good enough job supporting their continent.
I don't want to see taxpayer dollars wasted uh there is an idea that's been floated that that Ukraine start paying for the weapons that we're giving them and I think that they should your thoughts I hundred percent agree with you and we actually passed land lease where we should have been lending weapons and money not giving blank checks to Ukraine and President Biden's you know signing but did nothing about it.
He slowed the aid, move this war and never ending war, which we know how they end, we should learn from Afghanistan and three trillion dollar mistake and it costs us money and costs a lot of life.
I mean this build completely mishandled and it can escalate further and already did escalate further now we have a problems in the Middle East where Russia and China and Iran now try to destabilize the Middle East and the rest of the world.
But I hate to tell you Sean it's only strong leadership and peace to strength can only happen.
That's the only way to bring peace and we had very weak leaders the only time Putin didn't move when President Trump was in charge.
Under Obama he took Crimea and Eastern Ukraine and we gave blankets.
He understands the power he understands strong leaders so it will take courage leadership and strength from the United States of America and put pressure on Europe.
They need to start putting money where the mouse is because Europeans do a lot of talk and then come here we have a lot of problems too but they're not as strong as a lie when we need them.
So we need to start under in they need to make some choices too.
We need to make sure that Europeans you know not go on the side of China but we have to be tougher with them too and what President Trump did to make Germany less dependent on natural gas from Russia and force our allies to get to two percent.
Only two percent a lot of them still don't get still didn't get it actually strengthened their lines, and he doesn't get enough credit for it.
Yeah.
Well, we wish you the best.
We're gonna follow your campaign very, very closely.
I know that you you know have been a powerful voice for liberty and freedom, and you have firsthand knowledge of of how bad things can get if you go the other way, and I think you're a natural resource in terms of educating people, so we appreciate you being with us, Victoria Sparts.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me, Sean.
800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the uh program, we'll get to your calls, your comments coming up straight ahead.

All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
Let's say hi to Eric in the free state of Florida.
Eric, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Oh, thank you for taking the call, Sean.
Sean, Candle in the Wind Kamala is proposing health care policy.
That's bad.
First, she wants to give free health care to illegal aliens who never paid a dime into the healthcare system.
I mean, how is that fair to the millions of retirees that had Medicare taxes taken out of their paychecks for 30 or 40 years?
That's not fair at all.
And second I mean, like their big their big or big Joe Biden joint uh presser about lowering prescription drug costs.
I mean, it's just phony.
You know, it's just an attempt to to basically try to placate people.
You know, it's their policies that have been in place.
But go ahead, finish your thought.
Sure.
She wants to eliminate private health care insurance and give us a system like they have in Canada.
There are many Canadians who come down to Florida to escape the harsh winters up north, but the Canadians also come to Florida to escape the long waiting lines to see a health care specialist.
If you Google the phrase, how long does it take to see a specialist in Canada?
The estimates range between 15 and 27 weeks.
And who would want to wait that long if it was suspected you had a serious condition like cancer?
Would you want to wait four months to see a specialist?
I wouldn't.
So keep the waiting.
I mean, the they're flooding into the United States for very specific surgery.
They're taking their money out of their pocket because they can get treatment right away.
And we're going to blow up the best health care system the world has ever known.
Now, she's claiming Medicare for All and Universal Healthcare that Tim Walls supported, and of course, eliminating private health insurance, although we don't mean that anymore, at least according to her campaign, she's not commented on it because she's not given an interview and has never, you know, never get done a press conference.
They haven't been asked about it.
Uh I don't think she's gonna have a good answer.
What is she gonna say?
Everything that I've been saying about the economy and how great it is and how great Bidenomics is is now I was wrong about that, and I'm gonna deal with inflation that was transitory on day one.
I'm gonna secure the border on day one also.
Meanwhile, she had been telling us the borders secure for three long years and just frankly outright lying to us.
You gotta get away with that too.
I mean, is she gonna get away with you know claiming that comparing ice to the KKK and wanting to eliminate it?
How does she back off?
Oh no, I'm I'm I'm I'm for a fracking ban, but not anymore.
I'm I'm for a drilling ban, but not anymore.
I'm for defunding the police, but not anymore.
Uh I I'm the one that was the tie-breaking vote on taxing tips, but uh now I'm I'm all for cutting taxes on tips.
You know, uh or eliminating, you know, all of these things.
In fl just on every issue.
And it is that's why it's like a con artist.
If you're watching an illusion, this is not a real campaign.
She's this is all made up.
And we know because we have her in our own words to prove it.
Download it.
It's on Hannity.com, the Kamala Files, the Tim Walls files, and send it to your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers, send it to everybody.
